[C] Pebbles

Not unlike any other day that Dick came over to see his boyfriend, Fleck was holed up in his room.

Unlike any other day, when Dick walked into his bedroom, he had in the crook of his arm a new face. An African Grey laid on her back in the crook of Fleck's arm like a baby. Solla was on the bed besides Fleck, her paws on his arm, and her body stretched out so she could sniff the bird curiously.

"Careful with her, she's only delicate," Fleck warned, running the tips of his fingers over the grey feathers of the birds stomach.

Which meant that likely, she would be living in here with the rest of them, or in the studio when Fleck was there.

He'd known Pebbles for a long time, and bonded quite well with her. As a newly free-range parrot, she was likely to stick with someone she had a bond with, so would probably follow him around wherever he went.

Solla, tired of not getting attention, let her tail flick as she turned and plopped herself in Dick's lap. She squirmed until she was on her back and looked up at him, batting her paws to gain his attention, as if she was demanding 'look at me, I'm being cute.'

When Dick shifted, Solla gave a hiss, and slunk off towards the bedroom door, casting a filthy look back at Dick over her shoulder as she did.

She was going to leave a nice steaming pile of shit in his shoe, and there was nothing he could do about it.

The role of loving cat was taken over by Sollew, who stretched and rolled over when Dick slid further onto the bed, curling around Dick's back. His long, fluffy tail flicked and then fell still resting on Dick's thigh.

Fleck stroked Pebbles gently, scratching as her cheek with his nail. "Aren't you beautiful, Peb?"

"My dearest prince," he began obnoxiously, in a fruity, teasing voice. "Please, I beg of you, take this peasant boy back. It was wrong of me to seek my pleasures in another being. You truly are the only one I want, my prince!"
